Drain Cleaning
Clear it today when possible, and figure out why it keeps coming back
If your sink, tub, toilet, or main line is backing up, we’ll get it flowing and explain what likely caused the problem. When it makes sense, we use camera inspection and locating to find the cause—not guesses—so you’re not calling again next week.
Drain & Sewer Services for Poplar Bluff Homes
The right tool for the problem, plus a clear explanation of your options
We handle everything from simple clogs to recurring backups that point to a bigger issue in the line. You’ll get straightforward recommendations, realistic pricing guidance, and a plan that fits your home—not a sales pitch.
Drain cleaning and sewer clearing
We clear kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and main-line clogs and restore normal flow without tearing up your home. If the clog is a symptom of something bigger (roots, a belly in the line, a break), we’ll tell you what we suspect and what it means. We’ll also share simple prevention steps based on what we find.
Hydro jetting
For heavy buildup, grease, sludge, and recurring blockages, hydro jetting can clean the inside of the pipe more thoroughly than a basic clearing. We’ll explain when jetting is worth it and when a standard cleanout is the smarter move. If your piping isn’t a good candidate, we’ll recommend a safer alternative.
Camera inspection and pipe locating
A sewer camera inspection lets us see what’s happening inside the line—roots, offsets, collapses, breaks, or buildup patterns. We use it when drains keep clogging, when there’s a repeat backup, or before bigger repairs so you can make a confident decision. When needed, we can also locate problem areas to reduce unnecessary digging and speed up the fix.
Find the Cause, Not Just the Clog
Especially when backups keep returning
If you’ve had “the same clog” more than once, the issue is often deeper than the fixture you see backing up. Root intrusion, a damaged section of pipe, poor slope, or years of buildup can all create repeat problems that a quick clearing won’t solve for long. That’s where camera diagnostics help—because you can see what you’re paying to fix. We’ll walk you through what we find and what each option means for cost, disruption, and long-term reliability.
When you call, we’ll ask a few quick questions and give you a realistic ballpark when possible, including what can move that number up or down. If you need it handled quickly, we prioritize urgent backups and do our best to get same-day drain help when the schedule allows. Once we’re on site, we’ll explain the plan before we start and keep things clean and contained while we work. The goal is simple: fix the problem, prevent repeat calls, and respect your time and money.
Call-First Checklist for Drain and Sewer Problems
A quick way to tell if it’s a simple clog or a main-line issue
Before you call, note which fixtures are affected—one sink or multiple drains—because that helps us pinpoint whether it’s local or in the main line. Listen for gurgling, watch for slow drains, and check whether water is backing up in a tub or floor drain when you flush or run a faucet. If there’s an active backup, stop using water to prevent overflow, and avoid chemical drain cleaners since they can complicate diagnosis and create safety hazards. Tell us what you’re seeing and how long it’s been happening, and we’ll guide you to the right next step.
Residential Drain & Sewer FAQs
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask most
Why do my drains keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean there’s an underlying issue—buildup in the line, roots, a partial collapse, or a section of pipe that doesn’t drain properly. A basic clearing can restore flow, but it may not address the reason the blockage keeps forming. That’s why we often recommend camera inspection when the same drain backs up again and again. Once we know the cause, we can explain the most practical fix and what you can do to reduce future problems.
Do you do hydro jetting?
Yes, we use hydro jetting when it’s the right tool for the job, especially for heavy buildup, grease, and recurring blockages. Jetting cleans the pipe walls more thoroughly than a standard clearing, which can help reduce repeat clogs. That said, it’s not always necessary—and it’s not always appropriate for every type of pipe condition. We’ll explain when jetting makes sense and when a simpler approach will solve it.
Can you camera inspect my sewer line?
Yes, we can camera inspect sewer lines to see what’s happening inside the pipe instead of guessing. It’s especially useful for recurring backups, slow drains across multiple fixtures, or when you’re trying to confirm roots, damage, or a collapse. We’ll show you what we see and explain what it means in plain terms. From there, you’ll get clear repair options based on what the camera actually finds.
How much does drain cleaning cost in Poplar Bluff?
Cost depends on where the clog is, how severe it is, and what access points are available (like a cleanout). When you call, we can often give a realistic price range based on your symptoms and what’s most common in similar situations. If it turns out to be a main-line issue or something requiring camera work or jetting, we’ll explain why that changes the scope and cost. You’ll know the options before you decide to spend more.
How do I know if it’s a main sewer line problem?
If multiple drains are affected at once, toilets gurgle, or water backs up into a tub or floor drain, that often points to a main-line restriction. Single-fixture issues (one sink, one tub) are more commonly a local clog, though there are exceptions. The fastest way to confirm is a proper evaluation and, when needed, a camera inspection. If you’re actively backing up, stop using water and call so we can help prevent overflow and damage.
